Film + Video and Community Project Grant Applications due August 1

Humanities Montana is accepting applications from eligible organizations for Community Project grants of $2,000–$10,000 and Film + Video grants of up to $10,000. The deadline for proposal submissions is August 1, 2024.
Community Project Grants
Community Project grants support humanities-focused public programming that engages Montanans in meaningful discussion about the human condition, increases access to the humanities, and cultivates understanding and enriches civic discourse among people with varied experiences and perspectives.
Film + Video Grants
Film + Video grants (up to $10,000) support multiyear media projects with broad distribution goals. Eligible organizations may apply for one of three stages: pre-production, production, and post-production. Humanities Montana awards grants only to organizations, not to individuals.
